For Those Who Know Sailboats

It certainly doesn't look like it'd be as
easy as launching my bass boat!
I envy the bass boat guys at the ramp.
Raising and lowering the mast and launching or retrieving a boat with single
digit horsepower and a keel hanging under it isn't all that hard, but it
isn't trivial either. If I had to trailer my sailboat any time I wanted to
use it, I probably wouldn't use it much. The flipside is sailboats are
generally better suited to staying in the water than motorboats. No
expensive machinery below the waterline, cockpits that are designed with
getting wet in mind, that kind of thing.
If you go for that Cat 22, it probably wouldn't be hard to resell it at the
guy's asking price if you decide it isn't for you.
